Yes, someone needes to login to the console there. AFAIKR I wrote
documentation how to deploy plone, and some some extra notes how to
deploy the editors instance as readme files:
<http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/gnomeweb-plone/buildout/trunk/README.deployment>

Somebody started the plone instances when they went down some weeks ago, so
he will be able to update them as well.
The editors instance deployed now is probably deployed from an svn branch
(<http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/gnomeweb-plone/buildout/branches/deploy-editors>).
`svn info` will tell you. So to update the editors instance, the admin has
to switch to trunk and rerun `bin/buildout -c deploy-editors.cfg`. This 
will update
all packages.

* Somebody has to make sure first that the editors buildout configuration
 `deploy-editors.cfg` still works and is up-to-date. The current 
configuration
 pins several packages to svn revisions.
* Before the upgrade, the admin should make a full backup of the directory
 the editors instance is deployed to.
* After the deployment is updated, the admin needs to run the plone
migration
 process.

I can take a look at the buildout tomorrow and assist an admin during the
update.
